• So as you can see, the Pharisees and Yeshua taught along very similar lines.

• It is a shame when Christians berate the Pharisees because simultaneously… they berate our L-rd.

33

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Back to the teachings of the Pharisees.

• The Book of Macabees says this about the Pharisees…

34

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• The Pharisees wished to embrace the whole people, and in particular through education. It was their desire and intention that everyone in Israel achieve holiness through the study of Torah . . . (p. 93, The Maccabees)

35

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• The vast majority of the people loved and respected the Pharisees, but as with any group there were some who were in the party who were not Pharisaic at heart.

36

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• And the Pharisees knew that element was plaguing them and it was written about saying…

• “Fear not the Pharisees even the non-Pharisees, but the hypocrites who ape the Pharisees” (Sotah 22b)

37

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Not only that, the Pharisees themselves listed 7 kinds of Pharisees… and 6 out of 7 of them were not good.

38

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Again you have to remember this is inter-Pharisaic dialogue.

• Just like the New Testament is inter-Judaic dialogue.

39

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• If you don’t understand that, you miss the entire point.

• Yeshua could talk negatively about the Pharisees because He was one.

40

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Likewise other Pharisees could talk about other Pharisees because they didn’t like some of what they saw.

41

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• I get very angry when I hear about corrupt Republicans.

• I could write a small book on everything wrong with the Republican party even though I AM a Republican.

42

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• We criticize ourselves because we want things to be kept honest and we want to be honest about ourselves.

• Likewise with the Pharisees and here’s what they saw and despised about their own party…

43

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• They said there were 7 kinds of Pharisees…

44

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

1. The Shoulder Pharisee: This type of Pharisee was one who wore his good deeds on his shoulder – on display for all men to see. By showing all his good deeds it would put pressure on others to be as “holy” as he was.

Yeshua opens his primary criticism of Pharisees in Matthew, with the mention of the “shoulder” – a reference to this commonly-labeled type of Pharisee

45

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

1. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. (Matthew 23:4)

46

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

2. The Wait-a-little Pharisee: This type of Pharisee would want to wait to see how a situation played out before acting in any matter. While he agreed with Pharisee theology, he would always fall short in practice of his ‘belief’ because he wasn’t sure if he should/could/wanted to act. This type of Pharisee liked the prestige brought about by being a religious leader, but didn’t like what it actually required.

47

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

2. Yeshua spoke of these kinds of Pharisees as well in Matthew 23:5-7… Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them ‘Rabbi.’

48

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

3. The Bruised or Blind Pharisee: This type of Pharisee was typified by the idea of him walking with his head down or from turning away quickly to avoid looking at a woman so no one would think they were lusting after her. So, because they weren’t looking where they were going, they would end up bruised or bleeding from their avoidance of looking at a woman all the while forgetting the more important laws. Yeshua speaks of some Pharisees as ‘blind guides’ referring to this type of Pharisee.

49

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

3. Matt. 23:23 Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices of mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the laws like justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

50

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

4. The Hump-backed Pharisee

This kind of Pharisee would walk hunched over in order to show that he was a very humble man. He would bend over and slouch his back walking this way all day so all could see his humility. On the outside it looked like they were humble, but on the inside they were white washed tombs.

51

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

4. (Matthew 23:27-28) Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

52

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

5. The Ever-Reckoning Pharisee:

This was the Pharisee who was always keeping score – trying to make sure that his good deeds always outnumbered his bad ones. You’d find them decorating the tombs of the prophets for extra merit.

53

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

5. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!” (Matthew 23:29-32)

54

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

6. The Timid Pharisee:   While he had great reverence and respect for God, it was out of fear of his fellow Pharisees. Unlike the previous types of Pharisees, both his belief and practice were correct, but his motivation was out of sync with his faith. 

55

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

6. Yeshua spoke against the fear of man and said all things will be revealed. Matt 10

24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

• 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

• 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

56

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

7. Lastly there was the God-loving Pharisee:

This type of Pharisee was considered to be the ideal – a person who obeyed God out of true love and affection for Him, as in the manner of Abraham. Most Pharisees were this type. Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea and Rabbi Shaul, Gamaliel, Rabbi Hillel, Rabbi Shammai etc etc… were all Pharisees who would have fit into this category.

57

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

7. Yeshua also speaks of these in Mathew 23 The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do.

The G-d loving Pharisee…this is the kind of Pharisee I try to be!

• I also want you to notice, that all of these passages of Yeshua I just quoted are all only from the book of Mathew.

58

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• The one who loves Yeshua keeps His commandments.

• John 14:15• If ye love Me, keep my

Commandments. • If you don’t keep His

Commandments, you can’t claim to love “Jesus”.

59

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• What are “Jesus’” Commandments?

• Just the ones in the New Testament???

• Who’s Commandments are the ones in the Old Testament?

60

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Are the Commandments in the Old Testament Commandments of the Other G-d, the G-d of the Jews?

• How many G-d’s are there?

• Back to Mishna…

61

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Was Yeshua the only one who followed Mishna Talmud? Let’s look at the Masorah (Hebrew מסורה refers to the transmission of a religious tradition.) of Mark and the Masorah of John for just a second…

62

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Both of these Mishnas open with the same word, “beginning”.

• Mark says…• KJV Mark 1:1 The

beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

63

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• John opens with John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

64

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Now, to any Jew (and perhaps even our beginning Hebrew students), this word “beginning” of course conjures up a reference to the Book of Genesis.

65

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• What is that word in Hebrew?

• To open a Jewish book with this particular word screams “addendum”.

• Just as the Mishna is a commentary, explanation addendum of the Torah…

66

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• So are the Gospels an addendum to Yeshua's words and teachings.

• They are Good News.• When Yeshua came and

fulfilled the Law (interpreted it correctly) it was Good News to all those who heard it.

67

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• The Good News was NOT that Yeshua died for our sins. That was a secret!

• When He told His inner circle, His disciples, He was going to die, Peter said, “No, no such thing shall ever happen to you!” They didn’t believe it.

• Then way ahead when He actually did die, they were shocked!

• That was not Yeshua’s Message that He went and told everyone. The Gospel was told early on…

68

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• MATT 4• 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw

two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

• 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

69

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.• 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren,

James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

• 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

• 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their

synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

70

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• “Well the Gospel was that Yeshua was the Messiah of Israel!”

• Impossible!

• Yeshua didn’t start going out everywhere telling everyone He was the Messiah! It was not to be spoken of!!!

71

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Matt 16• 13 When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea

Philippi he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

• 14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

72

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

• 16 Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

• 17 Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.

73

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• 18 And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.

• 19 I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

• 20 Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Messiah.

74

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• The Good News was NOT that Yeshua died for our sins.

• The Good News was NOT that Yeshua was the Messiah.

• The Good News was two parts… 1. That Yeshua came and interpreted (Mishna) Torah correctly

75

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• That the Oral codes (Mishna Talmud) would be clarified and perfected for those who cared to hear and

• 2. That His Mishna (The Gospels) would be transferred by His Talmideem. He didn’t begin preaching the Gospel until AFTER He started gathering His Talmideem.

76

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• Put yourself in the shoes of the first century Pharisee for a moment.

• (Most of us here would’ve been Pharisees)

• You love G-d and you want to do what’s best.

• You’ve been a Pharisee because what they teach makes the most sense.

77

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• You couldn’t have been a Sadducee. They said there’s no angels (spirit beings), you can’t buy that. The Sadducees say there’s no resurrection of the dead, that doesn’t even sound Biblical to you

78

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• They say the Mishna Talmud is a complete fabrication. Well, you’re not sure about that, it’s got great teachings but is it from G-d (NOT Scripture, but from G-d), you have your doubts, especially because the Sadducees keep speaking against Mishna every day over and over and their words keep naggin and naggin at ya.

79

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• You start thinking, if it wasn’t for their not believing in the resurrection and the existence of spirit beings, maybe you’d even be a Sadducee. I mean they are the Priests in G-d’s Holy Temple right???

80

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• You’ve been struggling with this all your life and you just want the truth and to do what’s right.

• And then along comes this a man named Yeshua ben Yosef

81

Mishna Talmud, Mishna YeshuaMishna Talmud, Mishna Yeshua

• He’s doing miracles, now he’s doing miracles that only the Messiah could do, Yeshua’s NOT telling people he’s the Messiah, but people are thinking he could be the One.

82
